The Rogue One cast reveal the Star Wars Easter eggs to watch out for
One thing every Star Wars fan will be looking out for when they watch Rogue One is Easter eggs. While you could argue the whole movie is one giant Star Wars Easter egg, the movie contains some more subtle (and not so subtle) references and nods to the movie franchise that you'll want to know about.
I tried my best to get the Rogue One cast to spill as many details as possible when I sat down with them this week, and it worked! The only problem is, you probably don't want to find out about them until you've watched the movie for yourself, right? Given the mild spoilers in the video above, make sure you come back to find out how many Star Wars Easter eggs you spotted in Rogue One after you've seen the movie. Oh, and one other thing, none of them noticed the prop Easter egg George Lucas added. Amateurs.
Directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Forest Whitaker, and Alan Tudyk, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is scheduled to open in UK on December 15, 2016 and in the US a day later.
